David Stanton (Cork East, Fine Gael)

Did the TNS MRBI survey from March 2007 make a number of recommendations and can the Minister tell us what has been done to implement those recommendations? Can he point to recommendations implemented? There was a recommendation that women need role models in the Permanent Defence Force. Has anything been done in that regard? What has been done to promote a dual gender image for the Permanent Defence Force rather than the current masculine image? Does the Minister have plans in this regard?
